Xyirx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[=Reclaiming the Wastes=]

No light, mysterious.

The song has story within it. As I read your description in the author comments, it really connects with the song. The instruments are well used though I don't know really know all of them, but they sound tribal/arabic somehow. :D What soundfont/VST do you use? Maybe I could get one for my work too. :)

Hades responds:

Well, I believe that most (if not all) of the soundfonts used in this one were downloaded from hammersound.com, which is probably the best place to look for free soundfonts. If you're interested in any instrument in particular, feel free to PM me, I'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction!

Also, thanks for the comment, the more opinions I get to hear, the better! ;D

[Rose At Twilight]

Getting out of the generic stuff.

I can see that you start to create more depth in your song by using different instruments that act as effects. The guitar does its parts well, but sometimes, I found it the only one that prevents further depth in the song.

When I listen to this, it reminds me of Castlevania tracks, which are highly valuable. :) Nicely done.

[9/8_Escapement]

Soothing....

It's simply relaxing, listening to this....The piano is really good, soft and progressive throughout. The drum sounds clear and lucid. :)

Tokolos responds:

Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.

[Waltz of the Slain]

Classical and rock....maybe.

I admire how you blend in different genre together, and it's quite hard to find some waltz to listen nowadays. I fall in love with the melody seconds after the song has begun.

Just a little critique, sometimes, the sound is treble because of the volume, I guess.

surtur responds:

Yeah, I noticed that I need to use better judgement when adjusting the volumes for each instrument.

I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the review.

[Mountains And Their Echos]

Pretty classic.

Sounds classic to me. It makes me feel like playing a fighting game, selecting the character. :) Drums are well done, to be honest.

However, you should've let the song continue, not fading out since it sounds loopable.

ECTheSlaughter responds:

Now that you told me about it, I should had let it to have at least another segment before the fade out. But would that work at all? That is unknown to me...

Thanks anyways.

[daniel0025 - O Sonho do Menino]

Interesting marching rhythm.

It sounds like a song which would make you wanna do something proud to me....since it's a snare throughout the song. The piano goes along quite well, though it'd be perfect if the snare is a little bit softer just to match with the piano. :)

daniel0025 responds:

thanks ^^

[Gray (h7dirtybt mix) / Xyirx]

Enjoyable. :D

I feel so honored that someone has done a remix of my song. :) It sounds totally different from the original one, and I really enjoy listening to it.....It has a industrial feel to it.

[STOGAM - The Battle Begins]

Powerful as usual

Definitely a ten from me. Very powerful and progressive. I could imagine what's going on during the song. :D Keep your great music coming, Edgen.

[Here I Come]

Sounds very smooth.

This one can really be a track when I work. It has a bright melody which can keep me focused and calm throughout the working hours.

Shan83 responds:

great ;) this was my purpose. a BG track ;D
thank you.

[Rise of a new King]

Progressive.

The song has its story....This is what I'm listening for in NGAP! You've got this done very nicely. I love your piano and violin so much. The climax in the middle also move me a lot. Well done. :D Worth listening.

DukeLukeProd responds:

Thanks for pointing out that you liked the intro, finally someone who appreciates this part ;) Glad you liked my piece dude :)
